After five minutes, a brain deprived of blood-transported oxygen suffers irreversible and often fatal damage. Thus the doctors who tried desperately last week to save the life of Robert F. Kennedy were faced with overwhelmingly negative odds from the moment the Senator was wheeled, unconscious, from an ambulance into the city's Central Receiving Hospital...
...lost blood during the 23 minutes he lay in the pantry hallway at the Ambassador Hotel. During the four-minute ride to Central Receiving, Kennedy continued to bleed heavily, and though the attendant was able to give him oxygen, he could do nothing about his failing heartbeat. At the hospital, General Practitioner V. Faustin Bazilauskas and Surgeon Albert Holt found Kennedy in extremis, his blood pressure "zero over zero," his heartbeat almost imperceptible. "Bob! Bob! Bob!" Bazilauskas shouted, slapping his face repeatedly. There was no response...
Central Receiving doctors hooked Kennedy up to a respirator and an external-cardiac-massage machine. Bazilauskas gave him oxygen and an injection of Adrenalin to stimulate his heart, and Holt started a transfusion. Kennedy's heart began pumping. With a respirator fitted to his face, he was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital, where a team of doctors headed by Neurosurgeon Henry Cuneo of the University of Southern California School of Medicine scrubbed and made ready. Cuneo, who was assisted by fellow Neurosurgeons Nat Downs Reid of U.S.C. and U.C.L.A.'s Maxwell Andler Jr., had performed hundreds of brain operations...
Although Rizor had the advantage of relative youth, his long-standing heart disease had impaired his lung function, and after the operation he still needed artificial respiration, by way of an oxygen tube cut into his windpipe. Rizor's new heart was doing a fine job of pumping more blood, but the blood was not taking up enough oxygen. Explained Shumway: "This change in circulation has confused his lungs to some extent. The problem is whether there can be a satisfactory adjustment to the new heart. Liver and kidney functions are fine-in other words, all systems...
Helium into LOX. To rid Saturn of Pogo, scientists may inject small amounts of liquid helium into the liquid oxygen (LOX) lines of two of the engines, damping the sloshing of the LOX and thus changing the resonant frequencies of the engines. Or they may place gas-filled cavities beneath the LOX lines of two engines to act as shock absorbers. Either solution would cause two engines to pulse at different frequencies from the others, preventing a five-engine resonant buildup of the Pogo Effect...
